christmas idea no.12

Candy cane martini

I did this martini as this years christmas card for Wine Spectator Magazine.

They wanted something christmasy and beautiful, so I came up with a candy cane martini.

1 oz vodka

1/2 oz peppermint schnapps

4 candy canes

cherry balls, if you want

Fill a shaker with crushed ice, vodka and schnapps.

Shake well and pour into glasses.

Garnish with candy canes and cherry balls.

Makes 4 glasses

A problem? – I worry about the charming chef’s tobacco addiction – he should live a long life – he’s does good stuff, but at the rate he puffing them down, who knows?
